Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

Chapter 139 Body strengthening has begun! (2)

"And when you heal those muscles, do they return to normal or do they expand and become better like they are supposed to do?" Lucas asked making Ella look at him with surprise.

The surprise soon turned to curiosity when she kept a hand on John and her eyes moved here and there as if she was examining him.

"You only depleted your mana. Let me look at him for reference."

Ela made her way to Jerry who was filled with sweat while he training in the way of the shield.

He was bashing the buckler forward and then returning back in a systematic way. Lucas could feel that the force was pretty solid at which he was moving forward with firm and properly gripped footwork.

"Jerry, pardon the intrusion." Ella came very close to him while he practice and finally stopped.

"Hm?" Jerry asked after moving his gaze toward her with confusion.

Before he knew it, Ella's hand was on Jerry's shoulder and the right time never came to ask her what the heck she was on about.

Jerry didn't want to disturb her as she may have been looking at his body here and there but her eyes were dazed and unfocused as if she was looking at something beyond his skin.

"Oh my god! Why didn't I think of this sooner?!" Ella keep a hand on her head while the other just hung without care.

"So what is it?"

Ella looked at him with wide eyes while Lucas was the same, it seemed there were many passionate workers inside the shelter who were too deep inside their works and minds.

"When I heal you all, the muscle reverts back to normal but that should not be the case at all! Your muscles are supposed to keep hurting and torn in order to let them increase in strength and stamina naturally with time."

"So all this time, our body is not developing normally?' John asked with a tilted eyebrow.

'What is this sound?' Lucas closed his eyes and let his senses take over.

Guided by his heightened senses, he decided to follow the sound.

After some time, he stopped again, "Water?"

Lucas felt a bit weird and excited at the same time.

By using his ear's sensitivity to sound, It led him through the dense overgrowth of the forest until he stumbled upon something majestic and beautiful, a small river flowing within the forest.

The water shimmered with a faint bluish glow, and the surrounding area exuded an aura of freshness.

Intrigued and scared, Lucas approached the lake cautiously. As he got closer and closer, the sound was now perfectly clear, the flowing river was moving from the west to the east, Lucas cautiously moved near until he found out that it was some kind of a freshwater river with fresh and see thought waster showing all the pebbles and different rocks on the surface that was about 4 feet deep only.

Things were going too smoothly and well and finally, Lucas noticed a peculiar sight—a group of small but colorful fish swam gracefully inside the river near to the surface.

"A new food source!" Lucas exclaimed thinking that he did it inwardly alas he was too happy to notice.

These fish were unlike any he had seen before, with glowing scales that seemed to change colors with the reflection of the sunlight.

Lucas marveled at the sight, feeling a sense of wonder and excitement.

He went near and near until he was just a step away from the water body, Lucas was not wearing any shoes or socks as they had long been destroyed from overuse.

His dirty feet went inside the water and his chest shivered from the coldness of the water.

Lucas felt like he was on the top of the world, first those blueprints and now such a big achievement.
